We Are Going to Nationals!!!
Hey everyone!
This past weekend, after winning Divisionals at
Spirit Mountain last weekend, the Oles were off to Marquette Mountain in
Michigan. It was a great weekend for many people on the team. The drive to
Marquette was an experience in itself.
We experienced one of the few snowstorms of the season. At one point,
the vans spilt up because of the weather. However, thanks to technology and
great driving skills, we all arrived in Marquette safe.
(Coach Kevin Cook)
Saturday:
The first race was on Saturday was Slalom. It was a strong
showing on the men’s side with St. Olaf taking 6 of the top 9 spots.
Congratulations to Nick Stang for winning the race. Haakon Schonheyder had a
solid finish taking second with Paal Proitz in third. Congratulations boys for
winning the race!

The women also proved to ski strong on Saturday as well. The
women also won the race with great skiing from Katie Ulvestad (3), Madison
McLachlan (4), Kathleen Stefely (5), Alex Anderson (6), MeKenna McNabb (8), and
Miranda Ness (12).
Sunday:
Sunday was a great day for the Oles as well! Team Norway and
Germany highlighted the Giant Slalom with 1,2, and 3. Congratulations to Haakon
Schonheyder for winning the race! Paal Proitz took second place (again) and
Florian Weil in third place.
On Sunday
the women skied just as well as the day before. We had solid skiing from all
girls on the team. Congratulations: Katie Ulvestad (2), Madison McLachlan (4),
McKenna McNabb (5), Alex Anderson (10), Kathleen Stefely (15), and Stephanie
Pieper (22). This weekend consisted of great skiing with
many solid performances by the experienced and new team members, which made for
a more than satisfactory race for the ladies’.
With all the great skiing from the Oles this weekend. The St.
Olaf Ski Teams were Regional Champions on both the Men’s and Women’s side.
MEANING WE ARE HEADED TO NATIONALS IN TWO WEEKS IN SUNDAY RIVER, MAINE!
Thanks for your support this season! Please continue to

our very own giving page, right here on this blog!
In the upper right hand corner you see a
yellow button that says "ChipIn" Clicking this button will bring you to
our team's new fundraising page.
We
only receive partial funding from the school's general fund, and so we rely on
your generous support to build upon our successful tradition. Thanks to you,
our team continues its legacy of success and we appreciate every dollar you

This
season we are in need of you to help! We need to raise $5,000 to go to USCSA

site, the money you give goes directly to our team! This new giving page is an
attempt to show you just how big of a difference you are making for us. The
idea is to give you the opportunity to choose things you'd like to fund. By

us! By giving to the blog NOW, you will be helping the St. Olaf Ski Teams continue
one of their strongest seasons ever.
